    Need duck time and temp W/ Qview

    I cook my ducks to medium rare. If you go much past that, they get a gamey taste to them. So I would say around 155 or so (I've never smoked them I normally just grill and don't take a temp) However I've never bought duck, I just eat the ones I shoot, Not sure if farm raised ducks would be...

    casing storage?

    Well thanks for all the help. I ended up not turning the casing inside out. Maybe I'll try it next time to see if I notice the difference. The sausages taste great, I just followed a recipe I found online for brats and italian sausage. It was quite a bit of work I ended up getting it done in...

    Pulled pork method

    Well I tried it last weekend. I used the saran wrap brand and it melted. It didn't melt into the meat though it just melted onto itself and basically unwrapped itself inside the foil. The meat tasted great still, but it wasn't any better than just wrapping in foil. Probably won't do it again...

    Pulled pork method

    hmmm... well kinda getting mixed results here. I haven't quite decided yet, but I think I might try it. Cause how do you know if it'll work unless you try is my point of view. I've got a gas smoker so its easy to control my temps, I keep it right around 225. the highest it might get is 250...
